In our exploration of Romans 6, we uncover the profound truth of our new identity in Christ. As believers, we are called to understand that we have been crucified with Christ and raised to new life. This powerful imagery of death and resurrection isn't just symbolic – it's a spiritual reality that transforms how we live. Through baptism, we participate in Christ's death to sin and His resurrection to righteousness. This chapter challenges us to 'reckon' ourselves dead to sin but alive to God, using an accounting term to emphasize the concrete nature of this spiritual transformation. As we grapple with the tension between grace and sin, we're reminded that our freedom in Christ isn't a license for sin, but a call to righteousness. How might we live differently if we truly embraced our new identity as those who are dead to sin and alive to God?
